Our church (The River Church Community) is participating in the Walk for Water, would you consider supporting ‪#‎TeamStahl‬ in raising money for a safe water community development project?

I was remiss in registering until recently, because this type of cause is quite dear to the hearts of me & Lesley after witnessing first hand during our time in Kenya not only that "Every day millions of women and children in developing countries walk nearly 4 miles to retrieve water to meet their family's daily needs," but that during dry seasons, it was longer distances and kept the children from attending school!
Many times, the water they (worldwide) can find is contaminated and makes them sick. I am excited because Water Missions International is changing lives, one community at a time, through their sustainable safe water solutions.
On March 21, I (and the kids in stroller) will be participating in the Silicon Valley Discipleship Walk for Water, where we will mimic the trek millions of people face on a daily basis just to get water that is necessary for their day-to-day activities. Each and every dollar raised by our Walk for Water is going to make an impact through a safe water community development project! Please consider making a donation to support this vision?
My goal for the March 21st Walk For Water is to carry 5 gallons for the 1.5 miles, in the same backpack I used in Kenya for our occasional grocery trips from the village to Mombasa. (The ~40lbs is roughly equivalent of a full "jerrycan")
Would you consider giving an easy $20, a stretch amount of $10 per gallon per mile ($75), anything in between, or more?
